My Fijian Adventure by theorganicbunny on February 17, 2016February 18, 2016 If you follow me online, you know by now, thanks to my endless uploads, that I just got back from the most magical vacation in Fiji. At first, I did not want to post a ton of pics to the @organicbunny page, because it’s not directly “Organic” related, but the more time I spent in Fiji, the more I realized it really is such an Organic place, in so many ways! From growing their own fresh fruits and veggies to never using any hormones or antibiotics in their meats, Fiji is an amazing place I really hope you all can visit some day! Many of you also mentioned that you did want to learn more about my trip, as it really is the most perfect place for a honeymoon, special occasion or just your next exotic getaway! Instead of breaking my trip up day by day, I will break this blog up by activities, that way you can pick and choose which parts appeal to you. Travelling to the Island of Vanua Levu, Fiji- There are many places to visit when traveling to Fiji, however, we called the town of Savusavu “home” for this trip, which is located on the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji. Getting to Savusavu was probably the hardest part, as there are no direct flights to this island. We took the train from San Diego to LA, which always works out nice, no traffic and relaxing on the train beats a car ride and $30 daily airport parking any day. Once we arrived to LA, the train station has a bus that takes you directly to LAX airport for under $20 bucks. We finally arrived to LAX, where our 9:30 pm red-eye flight awaited. The flight was 11 hours straight to Nadi, Fiji and then from there you take a 1-hour small commuter flight to Savusavu. The 11-hour flight was rough, as you are not really comfy at any point, however, we made it work because we had to. I packed a ton of snacks as Fiji Air’s food is not edible, so, I ate those and half slept/half watched movies the entire time. They do have a nice entertainment system that plays current movies, TV and music so at least we had that. They also have plugs on the plane, which I did not know or else I would have surely brought my work laptop to pass some time! Read More
What’s Really in Your 5 Free Polishes? by theorganicbunny on January 18, 2016April 10, 2019 If someone is totally ok with using a certain product, even after knowing the truth of its risks, I respect that as everyone is entitled to make their own choices in life. What I do care about, however, is when brands we trust deceive us. Ever since people started paying closer attention to what is in their beauty products, more and more businesses are pretending to care, inventing new ways to market their still dirty cosmetics, and that’s what I find upsetting. Take Treat nail polish for example. Treat contains Benzophenone-1, an ingredient with links to hormone disruptions and certain cancers, which got the attention of the brand after consumers that trusted they were safe, became upset. Treat also actually claims to be Non-Toxic which shocked me even more. I get it, Treat is making polishes without many of the worst ingredients the conventional polishes contain, and that’s great, but they still contain toxins so it seems very deceptive to still label the line Non-Toxic. That’s like someone labeling ice cream Vegan, it’s ice cream, it’s not Vegan. Read More
T3 Whirl Trio Review by theorganicbunny on December 31, 2015April 10, 2019 I love curly hair which is why this year I asked Santa for the T3 Micro Whirl Trio convertible curling iron. Not only is this iron the cutest thing ever, hello bright white and rose gold combo, it’s also one of the best irons I’ve ever used! I typically avoid clipless curling irons because they’re not the best for easy everyday use, however, I definitely will be using this iron more often now that I see how easy it is to use- Simply click in the barrel of your choice, turn on and go! I was spoiled by Santa as this T3 Whirl Trio comes with three interchangeable barrels- A 1″ straight barrel, a 1.25″ tapered barrel and lastly, a 1.5″ straight barrel which probably will be my favorite of the bunch as I love bigger, more glam curls. In the photo above I used the 1.25″ tapered barrel which gave me a super tight perfect curl with lots of bounce! I had not finished my hair yet as I stopped to do the rest on Periscope so please forgive the unfinished look here. This also comes with barrels that have clips as well, so, if you want just a basic curling iron barrel, they have that too! Read More
Hubalou Hair Wrap Review by theorganicbunny on December 29, 2015April 10, 2019 Kiss frizzy hair goodbye thanks to these super cute, eco-chic hair wraps by Hubalou! These bamboo-fiber wraps not only ensure your hair stays frizz free, but they also prevent the damage that typically comes from using terrycloth or microfiber towels!

So, want to keep your natural curls flawless, frizz-free and fabulous? Give these colorful and cute Hubalou wraps a try! Don’t have curly hair? Have no fear, these are amazing for all hair types, as everyone can benefit from damage and frizz free hair right!? I have pin straight hair and really do love these for drying my hair each day.

Project Juice Co-Founder Marra St. Clair Q & A! by theorganicbunny on December 29, 2015December 29, 2015 Have you ever wondered the difference between juicing and smoothies? Which is healthier and why? Or, perhaps you’re wanting to start a juice cleanse but you’re not so sure if it’s healthy for you? Today I am chatting all things liquid fruit thanks to this special one on one with Marra St. Clair, the co-founder of Project Juice! Before we start this Q & A, here’s a little info on Project Juice. I first discovered Project Juice online a few months back when I was in serious need of a juice cleanse. After just one online order of fresh Organic juice and nut milk, I was hooked, they have so many awesome flavors I really could not wait to be back for more. Not only is Project Juice 100% Organic, their juices are always cold-pressed, delivered fresh to your door. While they do make it easy to order online, they also have a handful of stores around Northern and Southern California, think an all Organic Jamba Juice, only better! Their stores are stocked full of the yummiest foods, smoothies, and juices, I really would eat here every single day if I could. Now that you know a bit more on the brand and what they carry, here are the questions I had for them, perhaps to make the juice/cleanse process a bit easier to understand, and to shed a bit more light on this awesome company I have grown to love, let’s chat!

Antonym Baked Blush in Copper by theorganicbunny on December 14, 2015April 10, 2019 Looking for the perfect bronzer to provide that just back from vacation gorgeous glow? This 99% Natural Antonym Baked Blush in the color Copper has been my go-to pressed bronzer of the moment as it’s the prettiest color ever and made with Certified Organic ingredients! These bronzers are unique because they are made from an innovative baking process that transforms the blush creme into a fine powder. The cream is then baked in terracotta pans that naturally gives it the domed shape you see here! Swirls of beautiful peaches, golds, bronzes, and melons are added to each blush before baking, giving each its own unique color. These baked powders still have a creamy texture to them, however, they sit very lightly on the skin and always apply super smooth, never muddy! Once applied, this provides the perfect sun-kissed, warm contrast, with just a splash of shimmer. To shop this item, head to my store! <SHOP> Read More

NuvaLash Vs. LASHFOOD by theorganicbunny on November 13, 2015November 14, 2015 Just when I thought I found a great new natural lash serum, yet another is released and has me wondering now, which one is truly the best!? Because it’s basically my job to figure this stuff out, I decided why not put these two to the test and try both at once, one set of lashes at a time!? So, for the next few weeks, I will embark on the ultimate lash growing mission, with today being Day 1! Each morning and night I will apply a few coats of each product to one specific eye, so at the end of this journey it will be easy to see the winner with your very own eyes! To be honest, these products are very similar so the results will basically determine the winner, but before I start, let’s chat about the differences between the two! Read More
Organic Bath Co. Organic Coffee Scrub by theorganicbunny on November 9, 2015April 10, 2019 Love coffee and exfoliating? If so, this Organic Bath Co. Java Jolt Organic Sugar & Coffee Scrub will be a must-have item for you! Made with 100% Organic, Fair Trade Certified Sugar & Coffee, this super moisturizing scrub features a super special blend of almond, apricot, and sunflower oils, plus coffee and mint to really kick start your senses each day! Not only does this scrub remove both dirt and dead skin, but the Organic oils also leave your skin oh-so-soft ready to take on the World! Because I sunless tan often, I always need a good exfoliating product in the shower which is why you can find one of these Organic Bath Co. scrubs in my bathroom at all times. When I exfoliate, I do prefer a more coarse scrub and I find that these satisfy that need, all without being too harsh on the skin. I also am a sucker for anything that includes Almond Oil as I find it really does brighten and tighten the skin! Some of my other favorite scents by them are the Lavender Stress Less & the Refresh Mint, both so aromatic without being overwhelming! To Use: Once the skin is wet from the shower or bath, scoop out a decent amount and begin scrubbing onto the areas in need of exfoliation. I use this scrub on my entire body, with the exception of my face. This scrubs is a bit too coarse for facial use, in my opinion. Coupon Code: Organic Bath Co. has a variety of enjoyable scented scrubs and Organic products, so be sure to check out their entire lineup over at Shop Conscious Beauty where code organicbunny will save you 10% OFF your entire purchase, these would make the perfect stocking stuffer if you ask me!
